The Paiste
Philosophy

The principle of our family business is to continually
create new sound with cymbals, gongs, and bronze percussion instruments
according to the creative needs of drummers and percussionists.

The foundation of this search
for musical sound is the successful combination of the musician’s
creative imagination of musicians and the inventive spirit of the musical
instrument maker. The spark that continually invigorates this search is
music itself, in all its beauty, complexity, and seemingly never-ending
capacity for new ways of expression. The relationship between us as sound
makers, and drummers and percussionists as musicians, is the very intimate
manifestation of this deep principle. This is our true purpose.

The secrets in creating sounds
are life-long experience, a deep knowledge about sound and sounding alloys,
painstaking craftsmanship, and intensive experimentation. We never get
accidental results. We meticulously research and we thoroughly execute
our creations. We guarantee consistency in sound qualities and sound color
in every cymbal, percussive sound and gong we offer. Through these virtues
we can offer a full range of unique and specific sounds, which respond
to the musician’s personal wishes. We go on providing you with ever-new
sound dimensions. We give you new possibilities to expand your sound spectrum
and to creatively develop your individual musical expression. This helps
you realize your musical dreams.

Our Cymbals are State-Of-The-Art

Our cymbal program always reflects the current state of music. Music
is incredibly diverse and changes constantly. Today’s music mixes
and matches styles; it borrows freely from historical periods; it is being
enriched by ethnic and traditional genres; it continues to integrate worldwide
music styles. Players no longer limit themselves within a certain style.

Experimentation, integration
and revolution are the norm. The art of percussion has evolved to a point
where technical and musical ability has reached unprecedented levels.
Drummers and percussionists speak many musical languages and actively
perform in several genres.

Our program is designed to keep up these trends. Our ability to do this
has grown exponentially over the decades. As a result, our program covers
more musical needs than ever before. We continually create new sounds.
We create cymbals with more potential for variation and versatile application.
We design more sound and function into individual models. We research
and develop methods to bring more satisfying sound to lower priced ranges.
In short - we work hard to make our cymbals do more to satisfy drummers
and percussionists.
